The Reasons Why The Oracle Smokes! | MATRIX EXPLAINED

[@mizztotal]

The Oracle is a massive Oracle database. She likely "smokes" to symbolize she's operating on a "cloud" platform. The Oracle gives out cookies because databases use tracking cookies to identify users on the network...that's why she seems to be psychic and know everyone's actions (because she tricks them into eating tracking cookies). Because she utilizes cloud computing, unlike the Architect who runs on traditional database architecture, she is able to perform complex data analysis that he can not. It's really that simple.

[@tinturtle9168]

What do candy, cookies and smoking represent? Bad habits, compulsion, inhibition, pleasure seeking, emotion. The Oracle represents emotion, she is all too human, to contrast with the Architect; cold intellectualism, unapproachable. The Oracle speaks to Neo. The Architect speaks at Neo, disinterested at first, not even trying to make himself comprehendible to Neo. The Architect and the Oracle represent a binary opposition, intellect vs emotion. The Oracle lives in the community, surrounded by children, whereas the Architect is remote surrounded by tv screens.

their will be a new oracle in sati ,if that is what happens she wouldn't need to smoke being a young woman and learning from the previous oracle not to make the same mistakes she did. renewed hope for the matrix and those people jacked in. possibly a new architect as well who knows.

[@brianburke4756]

I think the oracle and the architect are colleagues who have VERY different personalities and have spent so much time around each other that they kinda getting on each other's nerves. You did a fan theory that suggested they are working together to perfect the Matrix and make it acceptable for all the humans existing within it. The architect builds them, the Oracle finds the problems, reports back, the Architect corrects/changes the problems, and they keep on going back and forth. I strongly suspect that they just need a vacation from their work AND each other.

[@samuelcosta8189]

You´re probably right😃

[@hvymettle]

The Merovingian demonstrated that food within the Matrix is code capable of manipulating the programs that ingest it. Therefore, the cookies that the Oracle bakes are code. The Oracle gives Neo a cookie to insert the code that will cause him to fall in love with Trinity and believe that he is the one. Cigarettes, are not code, per se, they represent data. So when the Oracle smokes she is inputting data to assess human behavioral responses to her stimuli. The Architect said that the variable choice made the Matrix 99% effective and the Oracle's goal is to get that last 1% to accept the Matrix programming. She is trying to do that by introducing love as a variable into the equation.

[@xiz22]

Or Hollywood put cigarettes in because the tobacco industry paid them.

[@lantastic1]

I had considered that the ‘Oracle’ was a reflection of the Oracle of Delphi, who’s visions came from the noxious gases permeating the cave that she resided in, and her smoking was metaphor for the conduit of that imagery.

[@schiomigadj]

Nice.👏 At the Delphi temple,Pythia (the Oracle) advised politicians,rulers and philosophers (Socrates being one of them,when she famously deduced after analysing him that he was the smartest person in the country because “He knows that he knows nothing“) However,it was scientifically proven that underneath the temple was concentration of the gas ethylen and she probably was under the influence of its fumes while predicting...

[@schiomigadj]

[@criminalbrewing5509]

[@beaverrow9272]

the repetition of the number 1 and the smoking always made me think of an older processor struggling to keep working at 100% because it has a single processing thread and a lot of different tasks. The smoking sort of indicates that she is from a different time where the conventions were different as well as hinting that she may in fact be breaking down in term of whatever hardware she is actually running on

[@hypnometal]

I always saw the Architect and the Oracle as complementary programs - the Architect is designed to "balance the equation," while the Oracle is designed to "unbalance it" - in other words, to introduce the element of choice, which was discovered to be a necessary element for the functioning of the Matrix. Hence, the Architect couldn't understand choice because he wasn't programmed to, but the Oracle was.

[@samuelcosta8189]

The Oracle was programmed to learn how to better manipulate humans

[@NewWorldOrderx0x1]

You Do Not Understand That The Architect Created Five Ones That Destroyed Zion. Neo Would Be The Sixth Destruction. Why He Already Knows What Door. Simply By Placing A Video Of Trinity. Neo reacts chooses to rescue her. Action reaction. Neo is working with the machines from the very beginning . the whole crew was a trogan horse. Even morpheus all agents

Oracle = marketing Architect = accounting

[@TheGreyAngelic]

I personally think the biggest thing to take from her conversation with Neo when he relays the information from the Architect that he received, is that she refers to the Architect as "that man," despite him clearly being a program. She does this with the big M too, "What do all men with power want, more power." The Oracle, gives machines not just human pronouns, but even refers to their 'identities' as being partially human as well.

[@disturbed157]

Smith called her mom and the architect referred to her as a she. Oracle isn't the only one referring to programs as human

[@countryrave]

Yes, they are programs, but most of them escaped the machine world to hide as people so they would refer to themselves like people as for the Oracle, I would put it as learned speech

[@悪魔城下町]

Yes, exactly. The irony is after being created by humans and resisting them, the machines created their own new form of life, which resists them.

[@THEBIGFISH_55]

I always got the feeling that the oracle is a manifestation of empathy from the machines. The machines understand that they have to use the humans to survive but they have to have some level of love for them. The human spark in machines that we have hardwired into them as our creations. The true interface.

[@philipfabiani9325]

My interpretation of the Oracle saying "please" in the regards to the Architect's claim of Zion being destroyed, is that because Neo chose to return to the Matrix and save Trinity -- unlike the other Ones -- and the Architect doesn't know what will happen. The Architect can predict events because he's accrued data from the previous versions of the Matrix. He can't predict events that never happened -- the "change" the Oracle refers to. The Oracle and Neo cant see beyond their own choices because they dont know their ramifications. The Oracle made a decision to surrender her fate to Neo by letting Smith assimilate her. And Neo chose the path of the Oracle, which led him to sacrifice himself to save Zion.

[@traviousandrews1015]

They can see beyond choices they understand

[@thedfferencetab1977]

Ramifications Good call

[@ShakaZ3D]

The whole Path of the One itself is a simulation meant to investigate certain emotions. In this case the human emotion of love. It is a common theme and it is essential to Neo's power. In fact everyone of his powers and major accomplishments have been tied to when he felt that particular emotion. Powers Activated by Trinity's words, discovering wireless connection after he saved her, being able to see the code in the real world after his fight with Bane, and having the strength to continue on without anything holding him back after he lost his one true love.

[@ShakaZ3D]

@magicblanket it worked out well considering that they had humans enslaved for 600 years if you count the cycles as once every 100. Humans were desperate enough to listen to a program without much question. They took complete advantage of our other weakness which is hope.

[@countryrave]

All right, I like this question a lot and I think I have the answer you seek, you have to keep in mind any human red pills or even the fully human ones back and Zion have only been around for about 100 years. We don’t really know what they know, but it’s pretty clear they don’t really know much. They might not even be aware of programs outside of agents that look like humans.

I have been told in a discussion on another video on this channel that the Wachowskis called Smith a cancer. It makes sense. He is part of the system, but replicates himself incontrollably.

[@cheriremily9360]

Does this make Neo a program, even Trinity? An anomaly usually is detected within the memory. If they are glitches within the program then that means they are not human either. That means that Neo hasn't figured out that he's not human, yet. He's like a virus or malware that keeps popping up.

The Oracle smokes as a reference to the Oracle of Delphi. There are a couple of references to the importance of smoke here. From Wikipedia... 1. As a signal: "The goat was then slaughtered and upon sacrifice, the animal's organs, particularly its liver, were examined to ensure the signs were favourable, and then burned outside on the altar of Chios. The rising smoke was a signal that the oracle was open." 2. As a means to divine prophesy: "Pythia used oleander as a complement during the oracular procedure, chewing its leaves and inhaling their smoke." Do a search for Pythia over on Wikipedia for way more than you ever wanted to know about the subject. Essentially, a priestess would breath in the magic smoke and start to have visions of the future. These would be interpreted by someone not quite so intoxicated to advise thier clients of what was to come. It would have actually be kind of weird if they didn't have the Oracle smoke with the rich mixture of philosophy and religion the Matrix has built in.

But if we look at what a choice is cognitively, and we differentiate that process, deterministically and mechanistically, we see that choices are merely a selection from considerable alternatives. Neo DID choose between red and blue under this definition, he just did not do so of any so called “free will”. He did not make a “free choice”. His brain certainly made a determined selection from considerable alternatives.

It's not about "picking Blue or Red", it's about "understanding the series of events/decisions that led him to pick Red". In the end of the day, it's about understanding *himself!* It's not really a choice, everyone in Mr. Anderson's shoes, that spent years researching what "the Matrix" is, would have taken the Red Pill. He has already made his choice, when he chose to delve into the mystery instead of dismissing the Matrix as BS & ignoring it. By taking the Red Pill he only confirms his choice, he actually deals with that choice, with what it means, it's not an abstract idea anymore. Same applies to the "what do you think, are you the One?" question. It may seem like it's a Yes/No question, but it isn't. His answer "No" is *TRUE* at the time! He isn't the One (yet), not because he chose not to be, but because he doesn't understand *WHY* he is the One. He "will be" the One, he has "the potential" to be the One (that much has already been decided), but he won't become the One until he realizes what that choice means! That's what the Oracle is saying. She's not trying to fool him into believing there's a choice, when there isn't one. There is one (or rather, has been). She's trying to make him understand *WHY* that choice has been made, & what it means. _I can't believe you misunderstood that..._

Very insightful. I enjoyed reading that.

Didn't we debunk the "cookies" the oracle gives out? Those are mini-programs just like what the Merovingian did.

[@countryrave]

After the scene with the Merovingian, I was convinced and still am, that the food is always some type of program to accomplish something. Now with the topic of choice, I don’t think that choice is an illusion per se as much is like the oracle would say you have already made the choice you’re trying to understand why. you already make the decisions you’re going to make the only thing you can change theoretically is yourself.

Here is a very good one...what effects did that robotical spider that Smith put in Neo's belly button had? I mean what did the agents accomplish by implanting that in Neo?

[@roycesenon2456]

Omg I watched matrix 1 under the impression she was a program all the way back from the beginning when it first released 🤣 good to have confirmation 20 years later lol.

[@atibamaule]

@7:57 based on that, there may be many many people in the Matrix that may have once known each other in past versions, but don't remember each other now.

I too always wondered at the name “The Oracle” or “Oracle.” I thought it was absurd but had no “reason” to have that opinion as the script is written to be what it is. 3:21-3:24. Speaking of “choices” and doors, that is a valid question. 5:47...is choice an illusion? Are all the doors the same? Is the final outcome the same?

[@qmares]

the law of cause and effect; if you could see all the causes of your choice would you still consider it your choice? Or just an outcome of all the causes? You may say I'm free to choose what I like, but did you choose to like this or that or did you just found out that you like this or that? The outcome is set, however it is not predictable.

[@JahBreed]

For most of the generation that 'The Matrix' was first presented to, Grandma and Cigarette smoke go hand in hand. Sitting in the kitchen and talking with Grandma, cigarette burning in the ashtray? Fugheddaboutit. Meetings with The Oracle capture that mood perfectly. My grandma(s) were more into real food though.

[@mmaSpencer]

Can you further explain why the Oracle’s appearance changed? I know the real reason was because Gloria Foster (The original Oracle) passed away before the 3rd Matrix was made but what was the choice the Oracle had to make that made her appearance change? The answer she gave in the Matrix Revolutions was vague and somewhat questionable. I would love to know the answer to this question. Thanks! This channel is awesome btw! I’ve been a HUGE fan of the Matrix since its release in 1999 and this channel is answering so many of the questions I’ve had for years. It also answers the questions I didn’t know I had. Thanks again!🙏🏾

She traded the deletion codes to her shell appearance with the merovingian to get sati out of the matrix. This is explained in the video game i forget the name

[@lamario]

@@traviousandrews1015 Correct, her and her parents were scheduled for deletion, so they sold out the location of the Oracle's shell to the Merovingian to grant Sati safe passage into the Matrix for protection. He then destroyed her shell. It was quite the clever pivot to dealing with a character dying mid production.
